COL. HAMILTON!
Look Out for an Injunction.

At the reunion of the 9th Ohio
Cavalry at Fostorla, Sept. lst, the boys
offered all unprovoked insult to Gov.
Foraker. While we are not in SYM
pathy with our Governor politically,
we must warn the gallant boys of the
9th Ohio that they ought not, even in
.he name of union and peace, offend
the Chief Magistrate of the great EN-
pire State of the West. The incident.
the facts of which we get from our
fellow citizen, w. A. Kehnast, who
was member of the regiment and in
attendance at the reunion, IS as fol-
lows: 1t appears that during the war
James Doran, who had been veteran
in the British army for twelve years,
conceived it his duty to enlist in the
union army and fight for the Union.
He was made chief, bugler of the regl-
ment During an engagement with
the enemy Doran and his silver bugle
were captured by rebel named James
Doran. The Confederate Doran took
the bugle home with him as a trophy
of the war. In few years both the
Dorans died. In 1884 the widow of
Confederate Doran wrote the Adjutant
General of Ohio for the address of an
officer Of the 9Th Ohio Cavalry. The
Adjutant General replied, giving her
the name of Col. Hamilton, of Athens,
o. She then wrote the Colonel, re-
turning with her letter the bugle
which her husband had captured from
James Doran, the bugler of the regi-
ment.
At the recent reunion at Fostoria
the Colonel presented the bugle to the
regiment with a statement of the facts
While we commend the act of this
Southern widow, as a patriotic one,
calculated to more firmly unite the
two sections in bonds of fraternal love
and everlasting peace, all of which we
concede is for the good of the whole
country, we must give notice to all
Southern widows and soldiers that
such acts are considered disloyal in
Ohio.
1t will do in Pennsylvania, where
unions and confederates meet, as at
Gettysburg, and exchange swords and
Gags. 1t will do in all the States ex-
cept Ohio. 1t will do everywhere and
in all sections and counties where the
people pray for united country. But
Foraker is Governor of Ohio, his voice
is for war, iiscord and eternal hate,
and we want no determination with
rebels here. We don't want southern
money for our manufactured articles
that won't suit Foraker. Give him
such rebels as Malone, Longstreet and
Mosby for fat Offices, that will suit him
exactly. He is even satisfied to let
soldiers widows live on So per mo nth,
but rebel flags and Federal bugles re-
turned, never! Col. Hamilton, look
out for an lnjunction.--Defance Dem.

The Courier advises poor men to vote
the Democratic ticket. What on earth
has that party ever done for the labor
ing men that they should vote with it?
No sane man can tell.-Jefersonian.
The Democratic party is the only
party that ever legislated to protect the
rights Of the la6oring man. On the
other hand the Republican party has
ever legislated in the interest of the
rich and Disseminated against the
laboring classes. 1t was the Demo-
cratic administration that during the
past year restored millions of acres of
land to the public domain for the bene-
fit of actual settlers--land which the
Republican party had illegally given to
railroads and rich corporations. It was
the Democratic party which enacted
the only laws against the importation
of pauper labor into this country to
compete with American citizens. It
was the Democratic party which placed
the mechanics lien law on the statute
books, thus giving the laborer the pre-.
cedence over other claims to secure to
him the fruits of his labor. 1t was the
Democratic party which passed the act
in this State prohibiting the payment
of labor in barter checks believing
that the laborer Is worthy his hire and
should be paid in money, to spend it
where he pleases. 1t is the Democratic
party which advocates the reduction of
the tax on the necessaries oflife; while
the Republican party demands that
tax be kept on the necessaries of life
and removed from liquors and tobacco.
Nearly every law on the statute book
for the benefit of the laboring man has
been placed there by the Democratic
party. #t .i.
These are a few of the reasons why
the laboring men will vote the Demo-
cratic ticket. = Hancock Courier.

AS one of the neccssaries of life some
six years ago, coffee, the duties on which
had brought into the national treasury
several millions of dollars annually, vas
articles, like tea, of general consumption
which required no protection, as we
raised none in this country. No sooner
had our duty been taken off, when Brazil,
from whom our largest supply was and
is now received. Immediately put on the
article an export duty, which transferred
the benefits of the traffic To her treasury
and il loss of a great amount to ours.
We doubt if at any time the burden upon
our people has ever been reduced but a
higher price has generally been paid for
it, until week or two ago the advance
has been enormous \ New York paper
says:
"Rio coffee has advanced 100 per cent
in twelve months. The coflees imported
into the United States III the last five
years have averaged 5335, 600 600 pounds,
costing an average of $56, 600 900 The

the present price of fair Rio in New
York all coffee imports would amount to
SIP, 900 600. The coffee duty was abol-
ished in 1872, and the lmportatlons have
held steady aud large increase since
The importation in 1871 was 33l 600, 900
pounds; in 1879, $4,000. 600 pounds; in
1882, 459, 600, 900 pounds; in 1889, 5.2.
900, 900 pounds, and in 1856, 564 600. 0O0
pounds. The import price in lS,. was
sixteen cents; in 1850, eight cents, and in
1856 ten cents. The extraordinary ad-
vance OF the last twelve months will put
down consumption rapidly The public
are given to understand that the boom
is due to ii large decrease III brazilian
production. This may or may not be
true. 1t is much more probable that
if the national impDrtations OF coffee
should be made to retrace the course in
the last six years. and fall down to the
consumption of 1878. snch IA protest OF
consumption might bring the manipula-
tors to their senses. The great advance
i'll price las caused adultcration to such
an extent that those who have hitherto
been fond of partakin.. of coffee now be

Ir was the recently expressed judg-
ment of a prominent public man, that
in no country in the world, is there to
be found state of intellectual advance
ment among the people who till the
soil, equal to that which exists among
our native American farmers. Some
causes of this are manifest. The tiller
of European soil seldom owns his land,
and it requires constant vigilance and
unremittlng toll on the part of himself
and his whole family to pay rents and
"make both ends meet leaving no
time to crafty any wants above the
stomach. On the other hand, our ma
tive western farmers are mainly gentle
men of comparative leisure, who till
their own land and carry on agricultural
industries with as much ease and far
less worriment of mind than our city
men conduct their business. The far
mers' sons and daughters have all the
educational advantages that are to be
had in our entire country, and it is
long since well established fact that
the ablest and most successful business
men to be found in our cities are the
sons OF American farmers. Pick out OF
any city one hundred young men and
maidens, select an equal num-
Der of same age among our intelligent
farmers SONS and daughters, and we will
guarantee as to the latter, minds bet
ter filled with general information. The
chief reason is that the latter spend
their long winter evenings in storing
their minds with useful knowledge,
while the former waste their time in
various fashionable forms of amuse-
ment, where the highest intellectual
achievement is to be we'll up in small

The reception which Mr.. Blaine has
met with in England ought to be very
gratifying to Americans generally, par
ticularly when it is remembered that no
prominent American statesman has held
opinions more directly opposed to
those of the English government, upon
important issues and questions with
which that country has recently had to
deal. Yet he has been received with
marked cordiality, and has been ten
dered courtesies not generally extended
to foreigners. In commenting on the
temper of the English people towards
Mr.. Blaine one of our contemporaries
pertinently says that there is lesson in
this which it will be well for the average
American, filled with party rancor, to
study. \ great man in full career nee
essarily makes enemies indeed, the
greater he is, and the bigger the place
he fills in the ranks of his party and the
eyes of the public, the bitterer and
more uncompromising will be his oppo-
nents. The small fry in his own party
are envious of his prominence, and the
rank and file of the opposition fear the
effects of his ability and influence on
the people. Neither can a mans con-
stituents properly measure him. They
are either enthused TO the point of idol
airy or so saturated with prejudice that
their minds reflect only the insignifi-
cant flaws which may be found in the
purest diamond, and not the radiance
which his higher qualities dittuse. They
are too close to the object to judge it
tsirly. The English people three thous
and miles away, bereft of the prejudices
which play so large pant at home, with
only a general knowledge of American
politics and very little interest in mat
tiers which dc not concern them, have
studied our leading men philosophically
and with disposition to ascertain their
real worth. This is evident from the
reception extended of late years to
such men as Reverdy Johnson, Grant,
Beecher and others, but none except
Grant have received the homage paid
to Mr.. Blaine. Emerging from the haze
with which partisan strife and rivalry in
the ranks of his own party have sur
rounded him, he appears to the English
the magnificent man he really is, and
those who belttle him here at home
must stand abashed at the impartial
verdict. Mr.. Blaine will return from
abroad no greater than when he started
on his travels, but there will be keener
and truer appreciation of his splendid
abilities among his countrymen because
of the spontaneous recognition given
them abaoad.

TREATMENT OF LOCKJAW.

CHIctco, July G.-John KrlIcher ran
a rusty nail into his foot about an irch
back from his big tee on May %. He
washed the wound out with cold water,
tied Il piece Of cotton over it, and in Il day
the foot was comparatively well again,
the nail having just punctured the skin.
Yesterday morning he complained of a
sore throat When the physician whom
he had called upon 10 consult asked him
to open his mouth it was discovered that
his Jaws refused to perform their func.
tions. Another doctor was called in and
at once pronounced the lnalady a typical
form of traumatic lockjaw. The man
was removed to his home. An hour
later the tetanic grin set in, and it be-
came apparent that extreme measures
had to be resorted to. \ consultation
resulted in the operation below described.

slab and made mad rush for the will
dow. His Jaws were set, his eyes pro
truded, and he fought with a frenzied
strength, which the ombined efforts of
four men could hardly overcome. Again
he was given the an;pS.hetic, this time
with better effect. The lance was then
taken in hand, and an iuclSon four inches

inch and a-half behind the hip bone The
scatic nerve, which lies to the rear OF
the bail aud-Socket joint, was then ex-
posed. Here strong metallic sound was
passed beneath the nerve, and it was
stretched downward from the spinal
cord with pressure Of one hundred and
seventy five pounds. The cash WAS then
dressed with iodoform and autiSeptics
and sewed up. An inc!sion three inches
long was next made in the groin, the
knife cutting downward past the femordl
artery until the crural nerve was ex
posed Here the sound was again used,
ana the nerve drawn downward from the
spinal cord with a pressure of fifty
pounds. This idea of treatment for lock-
Jaw is a new one, and was first success
fully attempted i'll the European medical
colleges about six months ago, and the
case of kellchcr is probably the first eff
fort in the West 1t was the left foot
which was injured. The two nerves
treated are those supplying locomotion
and sensation from the nerve center to
the seat of the wound. The stretching
was done to destroy the nerve current
which conducted the sensations from the
scar i'll the left foot produced by the nail
to the base of the brain, also to prevent
the conveyance OF the irritation from the
pyEmic foot to the brain. The case is
being watched with great interest by
the medical men of Chicago, as it prom
ises to become a remedy for the dreaded

KNIGHTS OF LABOR AND TEMPER
AN(E.

ANCE.
There is nothing in the teachings OF
Grand Master Workman Powderly more
promising and helpful to the working
men of this country than his wise and
earnest warnings against the drinking
habit, and his manly and courageous
warfare on the liquor traffic. In the
/0WUa/ of iniIcd La601 just issued
Mr.. Powderly has an article on this
subject ringing with sincerity and good
sense. He is Jealous and uncomprom-
ising in his hostility to the drinking
habit, and uses his power in every pos
Sible way to promote temperance and
sobriety among the workingmen.
If :hey would heed his admonitions
and advice, there is no doubt that they
would be larger gamers than if they
should all receive permanent one
fourth increase in wages. Probably
more than quarter of the total amount
of money paid in wages in this country
is expended in drink. 1t is certain
that the money thus spent by working
men builds great many fine residences
and places of business for the hotel and
saloon men, and piles up a number OF
handsome fortunes for them. The
money thus wasted would make very
handsome addition to the incomes OF
the working people.
The adoption of the new constitution
by the Knights of Labor is said to be
practically settled, by vote of three
fourths of the assemblies. One of the
sections forbids any assembly or men,
